1 / 24Tarabuckle
Kirriemuir, Angus
A five star cottage on a working farm in Glen Clova near Kirriemuir, sleeping six, with a wood burner, a boot room, a large enclosed garden with a summer house and two dogs welcome.
Tarabuckle sits in a peaceful, tranquil setting in the Glen Clova valley, a few miles from the historic town of Kirriemuir in the Angus glens, and it is set on a working farm where two dogs are welcome. Graded five star and dog friendly, the cottage sleeps six, and with hills, mountain ranges and country tracks all around, it makes a fine base for walkers and their dogs.
You step straight into the cosy, inviting lounge, with its traditional wood burner, comfy furnishings and TV, and the stove is where two dogs gravitate before anyone has unpacked. The tastefully designed kitchen and diner has an electric range oven and a wine cooler, with a utility room alongside and a handy boot room and log store for the muddy kit after a day in the glen.
The ground floor also holds an en suite double, the main bathroom and a further WC, and two more bedrooms on the first floor are both zip and link, so each can be a king or a pair of singles on request. Beyond the door, a large enclosed garden holds a delightful summer house with seating, a fire pit and barbecue, and a custom built bench overlooking Glen Clova, where the dogs can sit with you at dusk.
Dogs may be walked on the farmland, with care around the livestock, and the River Esk is close at hand for trout and salmon fishing. Golf courses at Kirriemuir, Forfar, Rosemount, Alyth and Blairgowrie are all close, and Dundee, Perth and Aberdeen are within easy reach for a day in the city.
